Commit a crime, do the time — in Forks
Poulsbo sends some
inmates to Forks jail
to save money

By RICHARD D. OXLEY

roxley@northkitsapherald.com

POULSBO — Poulsbo city officials are proud of their ability
to pinch pennies in a recovering
economy and tightening tax revenues.

One method of saving money
has been found in an unlikely
place: jail. The City of Forks jail,
in particular.
“[Poulsbo has] a contract with
the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office
for their jail and with the City

of Forks for their jail,” Poulsbo
Police Chief Alan Townsend said.
Poulsbo has diverted some
of its inmates to the Forks
jail, a move that saves the city
money. “Forks costs about half,”
Townsend said. “It’s around $50 a

day rather than $80.”
To be exact, the Kitsap County
Jail charges $83.53 per day per
inmate, whereas the Forks jail
charges $45 per day, per prisoner.
Poulsbo began 2013 with a jail

Faulty signal sensors
may lead to new law
SB 5141 would allow a motorcyclist to proceed through an
intersection if traffic signal sensors fail to detect it
By Rebecca Gourley

WNPA Olympia News Service

OLYMPIA — Riding a motorcycle around on a warm Northwest
day is a relaxing pastime, unless
you get stuck at a traffic light that
just won’t turn green.
Traffic sensors are designed to
help facilitate the flow of traffic by
triggering a green light when a
vehicle is detected at an intersection. Senate Bill 5141 would allow
a motorcyclist to proceed through
an intersection after waiting one
full cycle — and “exercising due
care” — if the sensors on a traffic
signal fail to detect a motorcycle.
The bill passed in the Senate on
Feb. 10 with a 46-2 vote and moved
to the House Transportation

n One initiative would require
background checks on all firearm transactions. Another initiative would ban such initiatives.

Committee for a hearing on
Feb. 24.
Sen. Jim Hargrove, D-Hoquiam,

lack of detection by some traffic
lights can be a hazard for all drivers on the road.

A motorcycle and cars pass through the intersection of Highway 305 and Hostmark Avenue, Feb. 27. If
SB 5141 is approved, a motorcyclist would be allowed to proceed through an intersection, with caution, if
traffic signal sensors fail to detect a motorcycle.

Woman’s body found in ditch on
Clear Creek Road; may have drowned

BANGOR — A woman’s
body was found shortly
after 7 a.m. Feb. 27 in a
drainage ditch on the west
side of NW Clear Creek
Road, near gate 1 of Naval
Base Kitsap — Bangor.
The County Coroner’s
office identified the woman
as Pamela McNeil, 57.
A county employee conducting maintenance in the

area called 911 to report
finding McNeil’s body,
Kitsap County Sheriff’s
spokesman Deputy Scott
Wilson said. The employee
called 911 and patrol deputies went to the scene.
Sheriff’s detectives are
investigating; persons with
information may contact
Detective Ken Smith at 360337-4998, reference case

McNeil was found lying

face down in the ditch,
which contained water, he
said. She was wearing civilian clothes.
“At this point, there is
nothing obvious to indicate criminal actions were
involved in her death,”
Wilson said. “Pending
results of the autopsy, it
appears she may have

budget — known as a “care
and custody of prisoners”
— of $120,480. But the City
Council amended the budget as costs went up, raising
the number to $150,480.
By the end of 2013,
Poulsbo racked up $158,930
in jail bills, overshooting
even its amended number.
The city is currently
budgeted for $150,480 for
$2014.
Poulsbo is among a handful of western Washington
cities to turn to Forks for
cheaper jail beds in order to
cut down on costs to house
offenders and, ultimately,
saving taxpayer dollars. In
turn, the small city on the
north side of the Olympic
Peninsula has welcomed
the additional prisoners and
revenue.
Forks, a community of
roughly 3,600 people, has
a 40-bed jail attended by six
custodial officers.
“We’ve been looking
for contracts with people
for about 10 years,” Forks
Police Chief Rick Bart said.
“A lot of smaller jurisdictions with jails do this,
because they can charge
smaller amounts of money.
“This is nothing new. It’s
a matter of economics.”
Forks contracts with a

Of fice,
Cosmopolis,

January bill from the Forks
jail was around $2,000.
The Forks jail isn’t for
everyone, however. It
serves a niche market —
generally prisoners that
have already gone through
the court system, are not
expecting any more hearings, and will remain at the
jail to serve their time.
“These are all short
stays,” Bart said, noting
that prisoners are misdemeanor offenders. “DUIs,
domestic violence, misdemeanor assault,” Bart listed
off. “There are some mis-

demeanor drugs stuff. No
felonies.”
As part of the package,
an officer from Forks may
even drive part way to
pick up an inmate. It’s not
uncommon for a Poulsbo
police officer to meet a
Forks counterpart at the
Hood Canal Bridge to
exchange a prisoner.
“It depends on our staffing,” Bart said. “We’ll even
drive all the way down
Poulsbo and pick them up

if we have to. Most of the
time we pick them up halfway.”
Forks is among one money-saving tactic Poulsbo
has explored.
“(The judge) has the
alternative to send them
to Forks,” Townsend
said. “And also electronic
home monitoring, which is
another way to save money
and our police department
monitors that.”

IN OUR OPINION

Port should
develop a policy
regarding pay
T

he Poulsbo Port Commission should establish a written
policy specifying what commissioners can submit for
their $104-per-meeting payment. There is currently no
policy, and commissioners have wide latitude in what they can
claim.
State law says port commissioners can be paid for “actual attendance at official meetings of the port district commission,”
and for “performance of other official services or duties on behalf of the district.” Poulsbo port commissioners each receive
$104 a meeting based on a formula set by state law. Each commissioner’s annual compensation cannot exceed $12,535.
The Poulsbo Port Commission meets twice a month, but port
commissioners attend other meetings and functions related to
port business during the month. Some of the payments make
sense.
The port district compiled into a book all of the resolutions
approved in the district’s history, and commissioners Steve
Swann, Tony DeCarlo and Jim Rutledge were each paid when
they visited the port office to review the resolutions in the
book. They were paid for joint meetings with the Poulsbo City
Council, for meeting with the mayor, and for touring the old
police station, which the port considered buying.
Swann, who is involved on behalf of the port in downtown
marketing efforts, was paid for participation in meetings with
the Poulsbo Marketing Coalition and American Cruise Lines.
Commissioners were also paid when they attended a Washington Public Ports Association seminar.
But some commissioners put in for payment when they
stopped by the office to chat with the port district manager.
DeCarlo billed for such mundane or routine matters as “looked
at the parking lot,” stopping by the office to sign a letter and
talk to the port manager (one day after a commission meeting), and signing a warrant for a payment (two days before a
commission meeting).
Swann’s billings included chamber and convention bureau
lunches, a Rotary Club meeting in which the Winter Rendezvous was discussed, the Port of Kingston’s open house, and
two meetings at the North Kitsap Herald about the proposed
annexation measure. One of those meetings at the Herald
was for an interview by the newspaper’s Community Advisory
Board on annexation; the other was to review the Herald’s
format for a public forum on the annexation measure.
All three commissioners were paid to stand on the dock and
greet American Cruise Lines passengers visiting Poulsbo.
All told, Swann was paid $9,541.57 in 2013; DeCarlo, $6,811.94;
and Rutledge, $5,856.71.
Bottom line: If port business is discussed, a commissioner can
request payment. “They can bill for just about any time they

By making this decision, I feel

is the right decision. It is causing
me undue stress because of all
the arguing about who’s right and

tending a social gathering and neighbors strike
up a conversation about
marina improvements.
The commissioner could
bill for that.
A commissioner volunteers at a community
event. Is he or she volunteering as a citizen, or can
he or she volunteer as a
commissioner? It’s a pertinent question, because if
he or she goes as a commissioner the port district
could end up paying $104.
Clearly, some parameters
are needed. If a warrant
needs to be signed, unless
it’s an emergency, it can
wait until the next meeting. Something as mundane as visiting the office
to say hello or pick up mail
doesn’t deserve compensation. If a commissioner
feels a need to chat with
the port director for 15
minutes, the taxpayers
shouldn’t pay for it. If it’s
really important, it should
have been brought up at a
regularly scheduled meeting. If a commissioner
wants to attend a community function, the other
commissioners should
approve it first as a billable
performance of duties.
The port commission
should have port staff

spend on port business.
It’s pretty broad,” Port
Manager Brad Miller said.
“There have been commissioners who have
come down here to meet
with me, to talk with me
for 15 minutes, and they’ll
bill for a meeting. Then,
there’s times they’ll go to
a luncheon and maybe
discuss some port business, and they’ll say, ‘Put
me down for a meeting.’ If
they talk about port business, they can be compensated.”
So, if a reporter contacts
a port commissioner for
a news story, can the
commissioner bill the port
district $104? Miller said
that hasn’t happened, “not
that I’ve seen,” but “I guess
conceivably they could.”
Two previous billings related to the Herald weren’t
far off from that.
Consider these possible scenarios: A future
commissioner is driving
through downtown and
decides to drive by the
port parking lot to see the
level of use that day. He
or she could bill the port
district $104. Not bad pay
for a drive by.

to live their lives without

Sawyer is right, but most

with civil contempt and
never tried for our actions
in the Fish Wars. We would
fish, get arrested and often

away. One of those people is

NKEA opposes superintendent’s contract extension
voted “yes.” Bill Webb was
not present.
Henden said he supports the superintendent,
but questions the need to
extend her contract out by
three years.
“Superintendent Page
has done a great job,”
Henden said, adding that
she deserves the board’s
support. “The problem isn’t
her.”
Henden said it isn’t prudent to have a contract
extend for three years.
Because of school culture,
however, if a contract is not
renewed it means something is wrong, he said.
NKEA’s co-presidents
urged the board to delay
its decision to extend the
contract. After co-president
Chris Fraser presented a
summary of the climate
study to the board, co-president Mike McCorkle said
there wasn’t enough infor-

said of the study. In the
past year, the district has
closed a school and laid
off and rehired staff. Class
sizes increased, program
funding was reduced, and
the beginning of the school
year was not as smooth as
many would have liked.
There were a lot of factors in the beginning of the
2013-14 school year which
“caused it to be rockier
than anyone would want,”

The decision to extend
the superintendent’s contract came before the anniversary of her hire date.
Those opposed to the

wanted the contract to not
be extended, or the board

The

recently conducted a “climate study”; the study concluded that many district

with the district’s administration. The study was summarized during the public
comment period of the Feb.

mation to make the decision. McCorkle said the
decision should be made
next year.
“We made cuts that were
too severe this year,” he
said. Things in the district
need to improve, including
allocation models, collaboration, and leadership at the
building level, he said.
The board reviewed the
superintendent’s performance twice in January,
according to board agendas. On Jan. 9 before its
regular meeting, the board
met for an hour in executive session to review
Page’s contract, for contract negotiations and for a
personnel complaint; it met
in executive session for an
hour after the meeting for
the same reasons. On Jan.
18, the board met in executive session for 30 minutes
at the end of a special workshop.

up behind you, they start
honking at you, then they
start going around you,”
Hargrove said during
a Feb. 10 debate on the
Senate floor.
However,
the
state
Department
of
Transportation,
which
manages about 1,000 traffic lights in Washington,
reports it has received so
few complaints about traffic-light sensors that agency
officials don’t see a problem.
From 2010-13, WSDOT
received just 14 calls to
report traffic lights that
didn’t detect motorcycles
or bicycles.
Transportation engineer
Ted Bailey said when the
agency gets a call like that,
a worker is sent out to
check the sensor and the
light, and then fix anything
that’s faulty. “If we had a
larger number [of calls],”
then the agency would take
a closer look at the system

“Some of the
things that were
brought up
regarding the
start of school and
the budget, that
was [the board’s]
decision. Be mad
at us.”
The board is expected to
spend part of two meetings
annually to a discussion of
the working relationship
between the superintendent
and the board, according to
Page’s contract. Following
the evaluation, and prior
to the anniversary date of
the contract, the board and
superintendent will make
any adjustments to the con-

tract. The board is required
to notify the superintendent
whether the contract will be
extended for another year.
The board has extended
the contract but has not
finished making adjustments, if there will be any.
That must be done before
the anniversary date in
June. Page said the board
could, if it wanted to, renew
her contract year by year,
instead of extending it by
three years.
Weedin said a lot of
the reasons people are
angry with the district is
because of board decisions.
Take layoffs and closing a
school, for example; both
were decisions voted on by
the school board.
“Some of the things that
were brought up regarding the start of school and
the budget, that was [the
board’s] decision,” Weedin
said. “Be mad at us.”

as a whole, Bailey said.
WSDOT data also show
only four instances of maintenance performed on traffic signals associated with
motorcycle- and bicycledetection issues.
Ken Barnes, White
Center, who has been riding motorcycles for 40
years, said he encounters
this problem frequently but
has never called to report
a bad sensor. He said he
wants to see the sensors
improved instead of putting
motorists at risk by letting
people disregard a traffic
light.
“What’s to stop a car
from going through a red
light if they see a motorcycle doing it?” Barnes said.
This and other safety
concerns came up at the
public hearing in the House
Transportation Committee
on Feb. 24.
Capt.
Rob
Huss,
Washington State Patrol,
said that if a motorcyclist
goes through a red light
and is pulled over, that initial roadside conversation
gives police officers the

ability to understand the
problem.
“We have a responsibility
to follow up,” Huss added,
referring to officers contacting the correct public
works department to determine if there is a faulty
detection device. Huss testified against the bill.
Most traffic control signal sensors use a magnetic field detection system,
Bailey said. Because motorcycles are composed of less
metal than cars, they are
less likely to trigger the
sensors.
To improve the likelihood that his motorcycle
will be detected, Barnes
put a special magnet on his
bike. But, he said, it still
doesn’t solve the problem
entirely.
Barnes said he typically
has to wait for another car
to pull up behind him to
trigger the sensor.
In Washington state, the
infraction of running a red
light carries a $124 fine,
whether someone is caught
by law enforcement or by a
red-light camera.

Seferos
takes 6th
on beam
By KIPP ROBERTSON

krobertson@northkitsapherald.com

TACOMA — Chloe
Seferos was just out of
reach of placing in the top
10 of the beam event during the first round of the
2A/3A State Gymnastics
Championships Feb. 21.
Seferos finished the
event in 12th place on the
first day of the championship meet in the Tacoma
Dome Exhibition Hall. Her
score of 9.100 was enough
to advance to the second
round.
Seferos had one more
shot to earn a better score
and move up in the ranking. She took it.
“She did really well
on [Feb. 22],” North
Kitsap head coach Kris
Goodfellow said.
Seferos was able to move
up six places in the ranking during the finals, taking
sixth with a score of 8.825.
Though she scored lower
than her first attempt, it
was enough to move up
during the finals.
Sammamish’s NyKaela
Dodson took first in the
beam event with a score
of 9.425.
The last time a North
Kitsap gymnast placed
in the top 10 on beam at
state was 2007, when Kai
Morrow finished fifth.
North Kitsap was competing as a 4A school then.
Seferos’ finish on beam
follows her sixth place
finish on vault in 2013.
Because she’s “been having trouble” with vault,
Seferos did not perform
to her highest level during
the state event this year,
Goodfellow said. It wasn’t
worth risking an injury on
vault, when Seferos had
three other events to compete in, Goodfellow added.
Seferos missed a shot
at competing on floor in
the finals by hundredths.
She finished with a score
of 9.350. Three athletes
tied for 15th with scores
of 9.400.

Reece wins fourth state title
Four wrestlers from
Kingston High School
survive the 26th Mat
Classic and stand on the
winner’s podiums
By KIPP ROBERTSON

krobertson@northkitsapherald.com

TACOMA — Kingston’s Bobby
Reece III won his fourth state
wrestling title Feb. 22, becoming
the 12th high school wrestler in
Washington to win four championships.
The Kingston High School
senior won the championship in
the 2A 170-pound bracket during
the 26th Mat Classic. Reece wrestled 7 minutes 22 seconds, pinning
all his opponents.
After getting a congratulatory
hug from his younger brother,
Jorden, Reece expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to compete at the tournament.
“It’s just cool to have the opportunity to be here,” he said.
Reece pinned Sedro-Woolley’s
Nate Vaughn in the final match in
1:28 in the first round. The Kingston
wrestler used his well-known arm
bar while holding Vaughn down
face-first into the mat.
It wasn’t much of a question
whether Reece was focused before
the match. As he’s known to do,
Reece was warming up well before
he was set to face Vaughn. Pacing
back and forth while stretching,
Reece’s eyes showed only one
thing: a fourth title.

Reece has a “switch he can click
on” before his matches, his mother
DeAnna said. He has the ability to
focus on his goal, she said.
Reece may not have been just
focusing on the task at hand. While
warming up, Reece looked like
he was continually making eyecontact with Vaughn, right up to
when the two shook hands before
the match.
“Since he was 5 years old, he
would make eye contact with his

opponent,” DeAnna said. In the
semi-finals, Reece did the same
thing.
The three matches before the
finals also included quick wins for
Reece.
During his first match, Reece
pinned Lake Washington’s Eduard
Kravchuck in 1:10.
Reece’s longest match lasted
3:34 in the quarterfinals against
Cheney’s Josh Wessels.
In the semifinals, Reece pinned

four state titles. Among the

SO WRONG. Keep your application brushes clean
by washing them monthly with a gentle shampoo. In
between cleanings they can be sprayed with a fast drying

bacteria to your eyes and skin.

Man charged
with assault
after car crash

KINGSTON — A man
has been charged with
vehicular assault after allegedly crashing his car and
injuring two passengers.
Alcohol is suspected to
have played a part in the
accident, according to a
report by the Kitsap County
Sheriff's Office.
John David Aguayo, 21,
of Kingston was charged
with vehicular assault after
he allegedly crashed his car
into a utility pole on Eglon
Road on Feb. 20. Aguayo

had two passengers in the
car.
The pole carried telephone wires. No electrical
lines were compromised.
Aguayo's blood alcohol
level allegedly registered as
.142 on a portable breath
test, administered by sheriff
office deputies.
The car was traveling
eastbound on Eglon Road at
5:30 p.m. and failed to negotiate a turn at an intersection with Pilot Point Road.
The car crashed into a utility pole, turned over onto its
passenger side, and came
to rest against a fence. The
utility pole fell over into the
roadway.
Aguayo told deputies that

Kirtan duo and
guests perform at
Bainbridge church

T

he Indian music of kirtan has
steadily grown in popularity
among Western communities
in recent years. One such community

on Bainbridge Island is offering an
example of why the music is so heartfelt
by audiences.
Kirtan duo Shantala will be joined by
musician Sean Frenette and Grammywinning flautist Steve Gorn on March
2, 7 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church on
Bainbridge Island. Tickets are $15 in
advance and can be purchased at Grace
Episcopal Church, Winslow Drug,
Bainbridge Yoga House, and online at
www.shantalamusic.com. Admission is
$20 at the door.

The Red Hot Chilli Pipers, an eight-piece bagpipe band, play modern hits from AC/DC, Coldplay, Queen, Snow Patrol and
others, but with a little Scottish flair.

they perform at sold out
tours. But audiences
across the globe have
cheered their eclectic mix
of rock, pop, and more
played through the chanter of a bagpipe.
Formed in 2002, the
band boasts four music
degrees from the Royal
Scottish Academy of
Music and Drama and five
albums.
At one moment, the
Red Hot Chilli Pipers
are ripping through
“Thunderstruck” by AC/
DC, the next they are

groovin’ through
“Lowrider” by War. They
can ease into pop sensations such as “Clocks” or
“Fix You” by Coldplay,
kick it up with “Everybody
Dance Now” by C&C
Music Factory, and inject
some soul into a performance with their version
of “Amazing Grace.”
Or how about a trip to
1979 with a rendition of
Gary Numan’s “Cars”?
Their playlist is expansive
and delivered with the
bagpipe prominently featured.

The two perform the
Indian music with
Heather’s background as
a singer/songwriter and
Benjy’s skills as a vocalist, composer and multiinstrumentalist.
The kirtan event at
Grace Episcopal Church
is a unique combination
of music and audience
participation.
“Kirtan grew out of
the Bhakti (yoga of devotion) movement in India,
where it continues to
flourish,” said Paul King
of Grace Church. “In the
United States, the enormous popularity of hatha
yoga has whetted the
American appetite for
new, participatory forms
of spiritual expression.”
Kirtan combines traditional Indian music with
call-and-response devotional singing.
The Red Hot Chilli
Pipers will take the stage
at the Admiral Theatre in
Bremerton on March 7.
The theater is offering a
dinner at 6 p.m. with the
show following at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets range from $15
to $59 and can be purchased at the box office or

Sip a bit of wine history with Whidbey port
NW Wines
By ANDY PERDUE
and eric degerman

O

ne of Ste. Michelle
Wine Estates’
smallest-production wines has a history
that goes back to its earliest days as a company.
For the past 30 years,
one of the company’s
little-known projects is a
red dessert wine called
Whidbey’s Port. But its
roots run much deeper.
Soon after Prohibition
was repealed in late 1933,
two wineries started in
Seattle: National Wine Co.
and Pommerelle. One of
Pommerelle’s founders
was John Molz, a German
immigrant who began
making apple juice before
Prohibition was repealed.
When alcohol production
became legal, he switched
to hard cider and wine.
In the 1940s, Molz
bought Greenbank
Farm, a dairy on
Whidbey Island
west of Everett, and
planted 125 acres
of loganberries.
Naturally, Molz
made loganberry
wine.
Pommerelle and
National Wine Co.
were fierce rivals
for 20 years
until Molz
bought out
his competitor prior to
World War
II. In 1954,
he merged
his wineries into
American
Wine
Growers,
then ran it
for another
18 years
before
selling it
to Wally
Opdycke,
who
changed
the name
to Ste.
Michelle
Vintners.
By the
mid-1970s,
Opdycke
sold the
company
to U.S.
Tobacco,
which built
a grand manor in
Woodinville and called it
Chateau Ste. Michelle.
Through the ownership

changes, the loganberry
farm came with the winery.
In 1984, Ste. Michelle
launched Whidbey’s Port
and tapped Doug Gore,
then a young winemaker
for the new Columbia
Crest brand, to make it.
Gore, now a senior executive who oversees winemaking and viticulture
for the company, had no
experience making portstyle wine. It is produced
by adding brandy partway
through fermentation,
with the resulting wine
being sweet and high in
alcohol.
“Making that port the
first time was nervewracking,” Gore said. “It’s
a little touchy. You want to
have the right amount of
alcohol and sweetness in
the wine.”
He even called his
winemaking mentor in
California for tips.
“He encouraged me
to do it,” Gore said. “He
warned me that the
first time you do it,
you won’t sleep —
and he was right.
It’s fun, it’s interesting, and I enjoyed
the heck out of
making it.”
In 1987, Ste.
Michelle decided
to add a second
product under the
Whidbey’s label:
a loganberry
liqueur using
fruit from
Greenbank
Farm. It
was thick,
rich, sweet
and a hit
with fans.
The company even
built a tasting room at
the farm on
Whidbey
Island.
By the
mid-1990s,
the liqueur
was no
longer
sustainable
to make
because
growing
the loganberries
was expensive. In
1997, Ste.
Michelle
sold the
farm to the Port
of Coupeville, Island
County and the Nature
Conservancy. Today, it

Seattle Optometrist Helps
LEGALLY BLIND to See!

Just because you have
macular degeneration (or other

doesn’t always mean you must

A Seattle optometrist,
Dr. Ross Cusic, is using
miniaturized binoculars or
telescopes to help people
who have lost vision from
macular degeneration,
diabetic retinopathy or other
eye conditions.
“Our job is to figure out
everything and anything
possible to keep a person
functioning,” says Dr. Cusic.
“Whether it’s driving,
reading, TV, seeing faces,
check writing, bingo or

whatever is on the person’s
‘wish list.’”

No-contact order lifted
for Eagle Harbor: The Kitsap
Public Health District lifted
its no-contact advisory for
Eagle Harbor on Feb. 25.
People and their pets
were warned to not have any
contact with the waters of
Eagle Harbor on Feb. 19 after
40,000 gallons of sewage
spilled the night before near
the intersection of Madison
Avenue and Wallace Way.
Health district officials said
the city has since completed
all necessary repairs and has
cleaned up the spill area and
stormwater system.
Health district officials
noted that the agency has
an ongoing advisory against

harvesting shellfish in Eagle
Harbor. Additionally, health
officials recommend that
people wash their hands
or shower after contacting
any natural waters in Kitsap
County.
For current shellfish closures within Kitsap County,
call the hotline at 1-800-2BEWELL, or visit www.kitsappublichealth.org.

driver has outstanding fines
that have gone to collections.
“We’re trying to be proactive and let people know the
electronic system now does
this automatically,” Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent said.
The good news is that
starting next month, the
court will offer an amnesty
program that will waive all
interest payments for unpaid
tickets so drivers won’t be
blocked from registering
their vehicles.
Bremerton Municipal
Court Manager Dawn Nelson
says people will still have to
pay the original fines, late
fees and collection fees.
“It gives the public an
opportunity to take care of
these before a hold goes
on their registration, which
hasn’t happened in a long
time,” Nelson said. “It’s kind
of a public service to give
people an opportunity to
clear that up.”
City officials estimate that
approximately $2 million is
owed in unpaid Bremerton
parking tickets.

Central Kitsap
Reporter
Grandpa chips in at local
school, imparts knowledge and wisdom: Dan
Schremser, more commonly
known as “Grandpa Dan,” has
volunteered at Pine Crest El-

ementary School since 1998.
These days, the 88-year-old
is usually at his work station
just outside third-grade
classrooms.
“He’s not just a grandfather to the kids, he’s a grandfather to the staff as well,”
Pine Crest learning specialist
Roslyn Woehrman said. “He
is probably one of the most
caring, genuine people I’ve
ever met. He will spend all
the time you need talking
with you.”
Most days, Grandpa Dan
works on math exercises
with students. There are
also lessons he gives in life
advice.
He’s shared his Depression-era stories at school
events, and he’s talked to
students and staff about his
days in the Coast Guard. He
retired from the shipyard and
he’s been volunteering ever
since.
Not one to let anything
hold him down, Schremser
also fought off cancer.
“So many of them just
retire and die. There’s so
much volunteering to do,”
he said of older Americans.
“These kids will keep your
mind active. There’s no need
for people to vegetate and
wither away. As long as you
have the ability, why not?”
While Schremser volunteers at his church as
well, it is safe to say that
he considers Pine Crest his
second home. As long as he’s
able, he’ll drive himself to the

school three times a week
and work with students, he
said.
“As long as the good Lord
has me here,” he said. “What
I do is a mere drop in the
bucket. But every little bit
helps fill that bucket.”

Educators to get sensitivity training: The North
Kitsap School District will
provide cultural sensitivity
training to district employees
and establish a diversity/equity committee, Superintendent Patty Page said Feb. 19.
“It’s just time it becomes
part of our practice,” she said.
District employees need
to approach sensitive topics
thoughtfully, instead of
reactively, Page said.
Providing training and establishing a new committee
focused on diversity and equity follows an investigation
that left Poulsbo Elementary
School Principal Claudia
Alves on paid leave.
The leave was not disciplinary. She went on administrative leave Jan. 21 and
returned to work Feb. 18.
“Thrilled to be back,” she
told the Herald Feb. 19. She
did not want to discuss her
leave, but said it was
“business as usual” at the
school.

long-held enthusiasm for
craft beer.
“First, we got hooked on
the incredibly-creative beers
produced locally — 7 Seas,
Harmon, Duo Brewing,” he
said. “Then it was attending
and volunteering at beer festivals around the Northwest.
Then we starting brewing
our own and before we knew
it, we were producing the
Gig Harbor Beer Festival.
Starting our own brewery is
the next logical step in our
craft beer dreams.”
Fosberg said he had been
kicking around ideas for a
brewing company for several
years, learning as much as
he could about the industry
through various organizations, the Gig Harbor Beer
Festival, and talking with
other brewers. Start-up costs
and his busy creative agency,
Fosberg Media Group, kept
getting in the way of moving
beyond the planning stages.
“I really loved the passion
this industry has for its
product, and I kept feeling
that I really wanted to be a
part of something like that.
I couldn’t shake it,” Fosberg
said.
A chance meeting during
a trip to Europe in 2012 was
enough to convince Fosberg
to move forward with his
brewery ideas.
“I was walking along the
streets of Nuremburg, Germany during the Christmas
Markets. It was pouring
down snow, so I stopped into
a local pub, and there, sitting
at the bar was a 40-something bloke from England
wearing a ‘Beer Advocate’
cap. I thought, ‘It’s a sign.’
“We talked for a long time
about craft beer, breweries, and festivals in Great
Britain, and all the places he
had specifically traveled to
in the U.S. just to visit craft
breweries and taste the beer.
Now that’s passion. That was
the moment I decided to go
forward.”
Trevor Nicol, a local brew
master from Tacoma will be
in charge of brewing at the
new company. The brewery’s
first three beers will be Galloping Gertie Pale Ale, Round
Rock Pilsner, and Mosquito
Fleet IPA™. The beer names
represent historical local
icons and traditions of Gig
Harbor, Key Peninsula, and
Tacoma Narrows.
The location of the new
brewery and other details
will be announced later this
year.

Alves said she never used
